HP Proliant ML350 G5 drive cage / caddies

We have a HP Proliant ML350 G5 (as below) that we want to use as a backup server (running DPM 2007). The drive cage holds 3.5 inch drives:

We were wondering if anyone knew whether it'd be possible to use the following caddy, coupled with a standard Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB drive for storage. If so it could be a pretty cheap and reasonably effective solution:

Thank you in advance!

Hmmm, it probably would work fine, but be warned, it is not an HP Supported option, and it may invalidate your warranty!

Upto you!

Yes, it's possible. I bought 4 drive cage / caddies with 1 TB Seagate hard drives.
